Tennessee Volunteers head coach Josh Heupel is grappling with quarterback uncertainty as the team remains in contention for a College Football Playoff berth. The Vols' playoff hopes hinge on resolving the position question heading into the latter part of the season.

Heupel has not settled on a consistent starter, with the quarterback situation described as unsettled. Tennessee's offense has shown flashes but inconsistency at the position could jeopardize their postseason aspirations.
